Today, I got home from work to find my wife asleep in her easy chair with my two year old son asleep in a pile of torn-up paper. I soon found out it was my 1960s collection of a Superman comic book series that I inherited from my dad. It was worth well over $2,000. FML
Collection
Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I came home to find my entire action figure collection was gone. My parents told me I am too old for toys, so they opened all of the packages and donated them to Goodwill. I had an original Boba Fett, and my entire collection was worth more than twenty thousand dollars. FML
Today, I got home and found my kids playing with my coin collection. My wife told me to stop being grouchy because it’s not like they’re silver and gold. No, but they were all mint condition, some of them very rare, and every scratch the kids just put on them has halved their value or worse. FML
Today, my little sister decided to color-in my favorite black-and-white comic book. It was worth over $200. When I told my mother, she said, "Oh that old thing? I thought it was a stupid coloring book you were too stupid to color." FML
Today, my husband and I have been trying to buy a house and start a family together. Now I find out that he just spent $5000 on comic books. FML
Today, I came home and found my desk devoid of all paper. Turned out my mom dropped by and wanted to surprise me by cleaning up my work area. She threw away over 7 months worth of irreplaceable original sketches, notes and storylines, thinking they were worthless. My job is a full-time artist. FML
Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML
Today, I was at work when my mother called. She gave me great news that she had finally cleaned out my room and all those "old and useless" books that I had in there. Those "useless" books that she had just trashed were all antiques and worth about $500 each. There were 27 books in there. FML
Today, I discovered that my parents rooted through our house looking for junk to sell at a garage sale. They sold all of my books from my bookshelf. When I freaked, out my mom said 'well you never read them'. There was about $300 hidden between the pages of those books. They made $60. FML
Today, my mother sold my extensive Star Wars collection, and I cried when I found out. I'm 46. FML
Today, I got home and found all my things thrown out into the yard, including the stuff from my mancave, which I spent thousands of dollars on. Apparently, my girlfriend stopped for a visit while my wife was home. I’d stupidly given her a key. Turns out my wife called out sick today. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

what the op probably didn't mention was that she was told the value of the comics when they got together and they were in there room and she should have simply shut the door to the room. but seriously if you think that its just the mom that's tired men are equally or more tired depending on if the wife is a stay at home.

Now they are worth a lot less than $2,000.

im not voting bc i dont know the circumstances but that shouldnt be in the child's reach. it should be put away. and your wife should know the value of it as well.

I would have woke up your wife and screamed at her 1st because she takes your things without asking you 2nd because she let your son destroy it.. Im sure shes a nice girl but i would be really pissed...

I'm sure screaming at someone is a good way to get the destroyed item back. Nothing can be done about it now. Lesson learned the hard way.

Some people just never understand the value of "junk", as they'd put it.

YDI: "Keep out of reach of children." :D FYL for the comics being torn up and your wife being lazy. Sorry, OP. :(

If you knew it was worth so much money then why leave it somewhere that it can be easily accssed? Thats just asking for it to be ruined. ydi...

They say silence is golden. In this case about $2000. Maybe u shold not have something that is worth so much were a 2 year old can get it.
